Subhanahu wa Ta'ala (lit. Exalted and Glorified is He) is used exclusively when citing the name of God in the Islam faith. i.e. "Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, ...".
Shallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam (lit. May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is used for Prophets, and almost exclusively for the prophet Muhammad. i.e. "Muhammad, Shallallahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam, ..."

I believe 'sallallahu' is the proper transliteration here, without the additional 'h' in the beginning.
I hope this helps.
